NOTE: Please pay attention to the fellowing: *1. The inverter can work in 7.5V input voltage (continuous), but 7.5V electronic characteristic will not be care.

(Note: the display must be normal and can not glitter or become dark.) *2. Limited lamp maximum current by DAC_BRIC signal: When DAC_BRIG voltage is 0V and INV_PWM enables (100%), lamp has max. current.

When DAC_BRIG voltage is 3.3V and INV_PWM enables (100%), lamp has min. current.

When add 1V DAC, the 100% Lamp current will decrease 0.5mA. DAC_BRIG signal comes from system chipset with internal resistance of 3K Ω *3. Inverter operating frequency should be within specification (45~65kHz) at max. and min. brightness load. *4. INV_PWM enable implies INV_PWM signal is High level (On duty cycle is 100%). It is a square wave of 150Hz to adjust backlight brightness that is a function of PWM duty cycle. Backlight brightness is maximum value under INV_PWM at 100% and brightness is minimum under INV_PWM at 30%. *5.The system interface signals belong to 3.3V. *6. Please make sure open lamp output voltage should be within starting voltage specification. *7. Inverter should pass human body safety test. *8. Inverter should be no smoking by any component open/short test. *9. Transformer voltage stress should not be over 85% under any condition. (turn on overshoot transient and line transient.) *10. Audio noise should be less than 36dB at 10cm distance.

Troubleshooting Use the following procedure as a guide for computer problems.

NOTE: The diagnostic tests are intended to test this model (TravelMate 530 series). Non-Acer products, prototype cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses.

1.

Obtain the failed symptoms in as much detail as possible.

2.

Verify the symptoms by attempting to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating the same operation.

3.

If any problem occurs, you can perform visual inspection before you fellow this chapter’s instructions. You can check the following: power cords are properly connected and secured; there are no obvious shorts or opens; there are no obviously burned or heated components; all components appear normal.

4.

After you perform visual inspection you can also verify the following: ask the user if a password is registered and, if it is, ask him or her to enter the password. verify with the customer that Wndows XP is installed on the hard disk. Operating systems that were not preinstalled by Acer can cause malfunction. make sure all optional equipment is removed from the computer. make sure the floppy disk is empty.

5.

Use the following table with the verified symptom to determine which page to go to.
